Quotes & Reviews

Topic Description

Many voices – authors and speakers, shrinks, and preachers – advise us on how live productive and meaningful lives. Some realistically weave together issues of the spirit, mind, and body and accurately reflect biblical truth. Their perspectives have deeply enriched my life and ministry.

Still others address spiritual concerns but disregard physiological or mental realities. Here you can read reviews of what these voices are telling us and find significant quotes from their works.
